Your sad smile planted a raging fear deep into my fragile heart. I knew what came now; the fatal blow. You looked to the ground. At those final moments, you couldn’t even hold my gaze. You mumbled the heartbreaking words and brushed your hand aga...

Found in my notebook from a time when Emily and I were dating and not living together. I still love you, Em. Always will.
It’s called insomnia. I get it every night. I want to close my eyes an fall asleep, but I can’t stop thinking about yo...

It happened on the way home from Aikido. An off-white van much like Norman’s pulled up alongside her as she cycled and Charlotte’s head appeared in the window. “Katie! Get in. Quickly.”
Katie jammed on the brakes. The van did th...

“There’s a Cylink node on All Saints Road,” Libby was a little distracted by the driving, “I should have remembered.” To the radio, she said “She needs Norman and fast. I’m putting Charlie off at point 5. Where...

It seemed to take forever for the van to reach point 8. Katie rolled around in the back, clutching her tummy, her whole world on fire, able only to wonder what was going on. Eventually, Libby slowed the van and Norman opened the door and jumped in. He ...

I look into his deep blue eyes and I see compassion.
I run my fingers through his curly red hair and feel intimacy.
I press my lips to his soft cheek and melt.
I wrap my arms around him and feel comfort.
I look at his smile and see all the good things ...

No longer feel the pain of it
Heart is numb from feeling it
Candle of hope no longer lit
Can’t go back to the daily grit
Left in the darkness all alone
Emptiness now that you’re gone
Try to put it in a song
But all the words, they come out ...

“Charlotte!” I yelled as I took three steps at a time to get up to my and Charlotte’s floor in the apartment building. I sprinted up to her door and pounded on it, not sure whether or not anyone was listening to me or able to hear, ...

It is so real. This constant awareness of my gut and all my innards bumping around, spinning, whirling, cartwheeling…dropping fast.
It was flying. A dream of romance. A dream close enough to touch, close enough to believe. Close enough to breathe...

It looks and seems so simple from the other side of the plate glass. Looking on at the others, I can see the next step. It is so obvious, glaring bright red like Rudolph’s nose. But they never see it. It looks and seems so simple… from the ...

Silence, no wait I hear drops of water echoing, but not where I am. Cold , hard uneven surface meets my NAKED!
Wait, I tell myself, slow down. Arms are attached but tied at the elbows, behind my back, painful overkill, and wrists. Legs are together and...

Her chest heaves as she sits in her room, trying to silence the sound of her sobbing. She doesn’t want anyone to know; not yet. Crying is painful, sometimes more so than the actual emotional pain that causes the tears to flow. Her stomach hurts, ...

Sometimes I hate what I’ve let myself become.
I keep a cool facade at all times.
I look fine when I’m really hurting deep inside.
But others expect me to remain calm.
They want me to help them with their own problems.
It’s unacceptabl...

I pulled the blanket tighter aound myself. The ground beneath me was hard and rough, I knew my back would be sore tomorrow. Running away seemed like a good idea at the time. My dad was drunck again, I didn’t want to deal. So I bailed. Can you bla...

To You with the Nappy Hair and Big Lips,
I thought I best understood the feeling of loneliness in a place you called home, so I let you handle the only way I knew how. I taught you how to mark your skin with your dissatisfaction—a cut for every “ni...

Nearly void of its recent distilled contents, the bottle glinted in the array of lights in the bar. The yellow light over the pool table shone through its square sides at the apex of its arc. The blue from the neon Bud Light sign danced along its squar...

My room suffocates me.
The earrings he gave me are stuck to my wall.
The picture of us is glued to my dresser.
A card that expresses his love haunts next to it.
His large and warm hoodie takes up a space on my floor.
My favorite jacket he gave me cling...

Nights are the hardest.
Sleep is out the window.
When I am truely alone,
My mind wanders
To what I used to have.
It pains me to feel
That I lost everything
In the blink of an eye
And i took it all for granted.
That blank space
Is still unfilled.
When I...

I keep looking out the window.
Wishing I would see your car.
See your face,
But reality tells a different tale.
Geting you out of my head,
Is impossible.
If you only knew,
The way i still love you.
If you only felt,
The pain you have caused me.
If you ...

I was going on a walk, through my forest, which I bought in my back yard. Then all of the sudden, I had a HORRIBLE head ache. So walked off, and then I felt my nails start to grow, and I saw my body start to get soft and furry, and all o my teeth start...
